    FPS / window full screen mode Problems on PC


    Was playing a game in full screen mode and getting 60+ FPS. When I would tab out the game it would take a few seconds to switch to another application. I switched to windowed full screen and my FPS dropped to 25-30. I switched back to full screen and fps is still at 25-30 fps and when I switch tabs it is as if I am in windowed full screen still as there is no pause when switching applications. How can I fix this?

    :)

    Thanks, and what about the game itself. Any update?

    By the way, what game is? And, could you try testing with a different game? (But similar in hardware requirements)

    In the meantime let's try something simple:

    Open Task manager > select the startup tab > disable all the programs listed there. Restart your PC and give it a new try

    ------

    In case a recent windows update is the one causing the issue, please uninstall each one and test every time you delete one

    **Don't forget to turn off automatic updates temporarily

    FPS / window full screen mode Problems on PC

    Windows 10

    started about a week ago. graphics driver update but after the event started happening. No other hardware updates.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled the game. i verified integrity of game files in steam. I changed some settings in nvidia control panel. Just now I reset my graphics card and I am back up to 35-45 fps now so a little better but not where it was.

    again, it started happening when I switched from full screen to windowed full screen. I switched back to full screen but when I tab out of game it is acting as if it is still in windowed full screen.

    thank you for your reply and attempts to help me.

    Minecraft FPS Stuck At 60 While I'm At Full Screen (Not Happening In Older Windows Versions)

    My problem is with Minecraft. In windowed mode, my FPS is crazy, above 200.

    But while in fullscreen (Even windowed full screen), my FPS caps at 60, even with Optifine.

    I had to ask here, because this is a problem with Windows 10. I'm running 10 Home 1909, the latest release. That doesn't happen with Minecraft Windows 10. Is Microsoft trying to find a way to pull users to Bedrock?

    I would appreciate your help :)

    Cant use mouse on windows 10 games

    Sounds like you are playing window mode vs full screen. There are multiple video modes depending on games. Windowed, window full screen and full screen. Do you have the same issue if you switch modes?
